First of all, do you have a 3DS? Do you? If you do not, run and get one. They (as in all the major retailers) have tons of pretty ones out now. In addition to all of the incredible games that are being released for this system and you are just friggin’ missing out! I …

I know, another long hiatus. What's her excuse now? Butts. That's the excuse.
Greetings my fellow WordPressians! It is I, Melisa! It’s been a long time, hasn’t it? I’m not going to pretend like I haven’t been fickle and simply just not as motivated as I used to be, in relation to this website, of course. I still love baking. I’ve just been feeling a bit uninspired. I’m …
Easy Lemon Cupcakes
Hello my dearest WordPressians, How are you doing? I’m doing pretty well, thanks for asking. Actually, I bought a new cupcake pan and somehow, SOMEHOW, managed to give myself a paper cut with the paper that lined it. The cut is in a very awkward position, sort of on the side of my thumb. Other …
Hot Chocolate Cookies
Hot chocolate is considered one of the winter staples, am I right? It’s not officially winter until you’ve had a steaming mug of hot chocolate and if you’re feeling a bit more festive, maybe add a bit of whipped cream or marshmallows OR BOTH! I have been thinking about this recipe for a good two …
Nutella Coquito Festive Holiday Drink
Me and my excuses, right? A plethora of excuses! I should be ashamed! Trust me, I am. I tried balancing starting my MA, house duties, and we just got a new puppy! A lot has happened since we last spoke but I digress, let’s get to the recipe! Umm… Well, maybe that isn’t the recipe …
Mantecaditos Puerto Rican Cookies
If you are ever lucky enough to visit this enchanted island, I suggest you ask the locals which is the best bakery, and try absolutely everything they have. Puerto Rican bakeries are magnificent. They’re pastry wonderlands filled with secrets and family recipes. If only I could get the recipe of bizocho de novia! These cookies are a …
Almond Shortbread Cookies
I have pleaded with the gods. On my knees, I have begged for inspiration. They have not forsaken me. At last, I have a post that is worthy enough for you, my reader. It’s been a while, I know. It has been far too long, and for that, I am sorry. Nevertheless, I am here …
Strawberry Cobbler
Strawberries are fantastic. I adore them. They are definitely one of my top favorite fruits. Oddly enough, I’ve never actually baked anything with strawberries in it. Yesterday, as I was searching the fridge for something to eat I noticed some delightful looking strawberries. These strawberries with their vibrant red dresses served as an inspiration for …
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
My life is in disarray. I kid you not. Since the move, I’ve had the most horrible time trying to get back on track. After having created two of the most unappetizing recipes, I stared at my hands in disbelief and cursed them for bringing such atrocities to life. These food-like substances made me question …
Moving Sucks Massive Colorful Marbles
In my last post, I briefly mentioned moving to Texas. It’s been a week and so far… WE’VE JUST GOT OUR INTERNET INSTALLED! I am without my baking utensils or a bed, as a matter of fact. This lack of activity in the kitchen has made me experience somewhat of an epiphany; I have become …
